- Gigantor is a robot and he is GIGANTIC! He does the most gigantic of deeds. He has a song that goes like: And more. It's the best anime ever. Another song. Gigantor gigantor gigaaaaaaantor. Gigantor gigantor gigaaaaaaantor. And so on.
- Gigantor -- Tetsujin Nijuhachi-go, or "Iron Man #28" in the original Japanese -- was a Humongous Mecha controlled by a young boy, Jimmy Sparks (Shotaro Kaneda). They lived on a remote island with Jimmy's uncle, a scientist, and fought crime. Originally set just after World War II, the English dub portrayed the show as being set in the then-future year of 2000. Based on the original manga by Misuteru Yokoyama, it is one of the first popular anime to air in America, in both its original form and in the revamped New Adventures of Gigantor originally produced in 1980, and aired internationally in the late 80s/early 90s. It was also given a live-action adaptation in 2005.

Just looking at it shows how impressive a real-life Humongous Mecha would be.
